Alpha Floor is a feature where the autothrust system automatically commands TOGA (Take Off/Go Around - basically "give me all you got") thrust if certain angle of attack limits are exceeded. It functions regardless of thrust lever position and autothrust status, provided the autothrust system is operational and the aircraft flight control system is in Normal Law. This feature is available from liftoff down to 100’' RA on approach. Scenarios that may trigger Alpha Floor include: -low speed/high angle of attack -flight windshear conditions -a diving attitude combined with aft sidestick input Following Alpha Floor engagement, the power remains locked at TOGA thrust until pilot intervention. This reversion is referred to as TOGA lock.

How about we have pilots who know how to fly a f****** airplane without a computer. Is that too much to ask?

Great explanation, thank you!
